Asthma Slide Rule: Demonstration Animation

This short animation provides a brief introduction to the Asthma Slide Rule and how it can be used in a consultation with individuals with asthma.

The Asthma Slide Rule supports implementation of the 2024 BTS/NICE/SIGN asthma guideline, greener respiratory healthcare and is a gateway to establishing short-acting beta2-agonist (SABA) free treatment pathways. It should be used:

  • to identify patients on SABA (alone) treatment pathways,
  • for SABA over-reliance discussions and what good control looks like, and
  • to identify those exact patients you want to switch onto SABA free treatment pathways. 

This short demonstration animation provides a brief overview of the Asthma Slide Rule, and how it can be used in a normal consultation with someone with asthma to assess their SABA use.
